Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc. Originally solder is an alloy of Tin and Lead. Lead-free solders in commercial use may contain tin, copper, silver, bismuth, indium, zinc, antimony, and traces of other metals.
No. An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. Tin is a metal by itself. Tin can still be made into an alloy. Such alloys are pewter or solder.
True
both are metals
Solder has traditionally been a tin lead alloy, but there are many variations depending on the application:jeweler's solder or silver solder, has always contained silver to prevent the solder from dissolving silver and/or gold from the item being solderedother low melting point metals are sometimes added to make low melting point solderpure tin solder is sometimes used to eliminate toxic leadetc.Solder sold in the form of wire is sometimes hollow with a core filled with flux paste to make soldering easier without the need for extensive precleaning of the work so that the solder properly wets. For plumbing purposes (where the work can be rinsed afterwords) the flux paste is acidic and very corrosive, for electronics work the flux paste is a rosin.

tin and lead
Standard solder is an alloy of the two metals tin & lead. However there are countless other alloy variants with other metals in the blend for various purposes.
Any of various fusible alloys, usually tin and lead, used to join metallic parts.
Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc. Originally solder is an alloy of Tin and Lead. Lead-free solders in commercial use may contain tin, copper, silver, bismuth, indium, zinc, antimony, and traces of other metals.
Solder can be configured with several different types of metals. For instance, silver solder would contain a portion of silver along with another metal. Common electrical solder usually contains a mixture of tin and lead in the ratio of 60/40. That too can vary if the manufacturer wants to make a solder that requires a higher tempreature to melt it.

There is a little in the solder, but typically not much. However they typically do contain gold and other precious metals but not in enough quantity to be worth going after unless you could process a bunch at the same time.
Solder is a mixture of various metals. Its physical property is that it melts at fairly low temperatures, not so low that it melts when this is undesired. Its reactions are the same as the component metals.
This means a 95.5% tin alloy with 4.5% other metals. You will have to check the solder's specification sheet to determine the other metals and now much of each is present.
Solder is a mixture of various metals and elements that have a melting point lower than the metal that is intended to be brazed. Some of these metals are tin, bismuth, lead, and antimony, among others.
